Abstract	The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) administers programs and activities designed to help veterans obtain employment and training assistance. By establishing one-stop centers for employment services, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) affects how VETS serves veterans. VETS has made some progress and improvements with regard to its current strategic and performance plans. It has revised its mission statement to better focus on the outcomes associated with accomplishing its mission. The plans no longer contain much extraneous information found in past plans. While VETS has improved the form and content of its plans, VETS has not established a consistent set of priorities as to which veterans it intends to target for employment assistance. It has not developed sufficient strategies to address the major and complex challenges it faces, such as how best to incorporate its programs into the workforce development system WIA established. VETS appears to be taking a reactive rather than proactive approach. While VETS recognizes that the establishment of one-stop centers will increase the number of its service delivery points, it has not developed any plans to address how it will provide assistance at all centers. The quality of some VETS' program management data is questionable, and it is unlikely VETS can accurately assess its performance nationally and know whether it improves from year to year.
